2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
この後モアブの子孫アンモンの子孫およびマオニ人等ヨシヤパテと戰はんとて攻きたれり
2 And they came and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.
時に或人きたりてヨシヤパテに告て云ふ海の彼旁スリアより大衆汝に攻きたる視よ今ハザゾンタマルにありとハザゾンタマルはすなはちエンゲデなり
3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
是においてヨシヤパテ懼れ面をヱホバに向てその助を求めユダ全國に斷食を布令しめたれば
4 And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.
ユダ擧て集りヱホバの助を求めたり即ちユダの一切の邑より人々きたりてヱホバを求む
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
時にヨシヤパテ、ヱホバの室の新しき庭の前においてユダとヱルサレムの會衆の中に立ち
6 and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.
言けるは我らの先祖の神ヱホバよ汝は天の神にましますに非ずや異邦人の諸國を統たまふに非ずや汝の手には能力あり權勢ありて誰もなんぢを禦ぐこと能はざるに非ずや
7 Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?
我らの神よ汝は此國の民を汝の民イスラエルの前より逐はらひて汝の友アブラハムの子孫に之を永く與へたまひしに非ずや
8 And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
彼らは此に住み汝の名のために此に聖所を建て言へり
9 If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee — for thy name is in this house — and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.
刑罰の劍疫病饑饉などの災禍われらに臨まん時は我らこの家の前に立て汝の前にをりその苦難の中にて汝に呼號らんしかして汝聽て助けたまはん汝の名はこの家にあればなりと
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not, )
今アンモン、モアブおよびセイル山の子孫を視たまへ在昔イスラエル、エジプトの國より出きたれる時汝イスラエルに是等を侵さしめたまはざりしかば之を離れさりて滅ぼさざりしなり
11 behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.
かれらが我らに報ゆる所を視たまへ彼らは汝がわれらに有たしめたまへる汝の產業より我らを逐はらはんとす
12 Our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.
我らの神よ汝かれらを鞫きたまはざるや我らは此斯く攻よせたる此の大衆に當る能力なく又爲ところを知ず唯汝を仰ぎ望むのみと
13 And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
ユダの人々はその小者および妻子とともに皆ヱホバの前に立をれり
14 And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;
時に會衆の中にてヱホバの霊アサフの子孫たるレビ人ヤハジエルに臨めりヤハジエルはゼカリヤの子ゼカリヤはベナヤの子ベナヤはヱイエルの子ヱイエルはマツタニヤの子なり
15 and he said, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
ヤハジエルすなはち言けるはユダの人衆およびヱルサレムの居民ならびにヨシヤパテ王よ聽べしヱホバかく汝らに言たまふ此大衆のために懼るる勿れ慄くなかれ汝らの戰に非ずヱホバの戰なればなり
16 To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
なんぢら明日彼らの所に攻くだれ彼らはヂヅの坡より上り來る汝らヱルエルの野の前なる谷の口にて之に遇ん
17 Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be with you.
この戰爭には汝ら戰ふにおよばずユダおよびヱルサレムよ汝ら惟進みいでて立ち汝らとともに在すヱホバの拯救を見よ懼る勿れ慄くなかれ明日彼らの所に攻いでよヱホバ汝らとともに在せばなりと
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
是においてヨシヤパテ首をさげて地に俯伏りユダの人衆およびヱルサレムの民もヱホバの前に伏てヱホバを拝す
19 And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding loud voice.
時にコハテの子孫およびコラの子孫たるレビ人立あがり聲を高くあげてイスラエルの神ヱホバを讃美せり
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!
かくて皆朝はやく起てテコアの野に出ゆけり其いづるに當りてヨシヤパテ立て言けるはユダの人衆およびヱルサレムの民よ我に聽け汝らの神ヱホバを信ぜよ然ば汝ら堅くあらんその預言者を信ぜよ然ば汝ら利あらん
21 And he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever!
彼また民と議りて人々を選び之をして聖き飾を著て軍勢の前に進ましめヱホバにむかひて歌をうたひ且これを讃美せしめヱホバに感謝せよ其恩惠は世々かぎりなしと言しむ
22 And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.
その歌を歌ひ讃美をなし始むるに當りてヱホバ伏兵を設けかのユダに攻きたれるアンモン、モアブ、セイル山の子孫をなやましたまひければ彼ら打敗られたり
23 And the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
即ちアンモンとモアブの子孫起てセイル山の民にむかひ盡くこれを殺して滅ししがセイルの民を殺し盡すに及びて彼らも亦力をいだして互に滅ぼしあへり
24 And Judah came on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.
ユダの人々野の觀望所に至りてかの群衆を觀たりければ唯地に仆れたる死屍のみにして一人だに逃れし者なかりき
25 And Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it was so much.
是においてヨシヤパテおよびその民彼らの物を奪はんとて來り觀にその死屍の間に財寳衣服および珠玉などおびただしく在たれば則ち各々これを剥とりけるが餘に多くして携さへ去こと能はざる程なりき其物多かりしに因て之を取に三日を費しけるが
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, to this day.
第四日にベラカ(感謝)の谷に集り其處にてヱホバに感謝せり是をもてその處の名を今日までベラカ(感謝)の谷と呼ぶ
27 And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
而してユダとヱルサレムの人々みな各々歸りきたりヨシヤパテの後にしたがひ歓びてヱルサレムに至れり其はヱホバ彼等をしてその敵の故によりて歓喜を得させたまひたればなり
28 And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.
即ち彼ら瑟と琴および喇叭を合奏してヱルサレムに往てヱホバの室にいたる
29 And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.
諸の國の民ヱホバがイスラエルの敵を攻撃たまひしことを聞て神を畏れたれば
30 And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.
ヨシヤパテの國は平穩なりき即ちその神四方において之に安息を賜へり
31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
ヨシヤパテはユダの王となり三十五歳のときその位に即き二十五年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めたり其母はシルヒの女にして名をアズバといふ
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.
ヨシヤパテはその父アサの道にあゆみて之を離れずヱホバの目に善と觀たまふ事を行へり
33 Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.
然れども崇邱はいまだ除かず又民はいまだその先祖の神に心を傾けざりき
34 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
ヨシヤパテのその餘の始終の行爲はハナニの子ヱヒウの書に記さるヱヒウの事はイスラエルの列王の書に載す
35 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
ユダの王ヨシヤパテ後にイスラエルの王アハジアと相結べりアハジアは大に惡を行ふ者なりき
36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
ヨシヤパテ、タルシシに遣る舟を造らんとて彼と相結びてエジオンゲベルにて共に舟數隻を造れり
37 And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go to Tarshish.
時にマレシヤのドダワの子エリエゼル、ヨシヤパテにむかひて預言して云ふ汝アハジアと相結びたればヱホバなんぢの作りし者を毀ちたまふと即ちその舟は皆壞れてタルシシに往くことを得ざりき
